Re: Capturing audio from DJ board
I always mic one of the speakers and run it into the Olympus DM420. I might do a little EQ/compression, but it always sounds great. I hate having to worry about feeds from the board -- there are too...

Re: Reception Audio Help Please
I do this too. I just started this practice this year, and it's paid off immensely. I usually run a mic -- either a lav or a shotgun, depending on the DJ's setup -- into my Olympus and record the...

Hi Matthew,
There's a big difference between mistakes and creative choices. No one said anything about ignoring mistakes because the client won't notice; the conversation has been more geared...

I'm a big fan of Aviano Sans -- it's very elegant. I threw together something quick so you could see what I'm thinking . . .

Re: Help me decide on a logo
I'm a graphic designer, so I'll have opinions on them all ;) Consequently, I'm probably going to give advice that is way too detailed and picky. I can't help it :)
Just to give you a frame of...

I use 2 GH1's with 2 HMC40's, and love the results I get, with some tweaking/denoising in post.

Re: Smallest audio recorder
The Olympus recorders are fantastic. Great audio, very small. Although the older ones will give you audio drift, but that's easily corrected.

Congratulations Bill! That sounds like it was a great time. And it's very impressive about the solo SDE. I don't have the guts to take on something like that :)

Re: What does your reception light kit look like?

Re: Comfort Level to go full DSLR
Hi Dave --
I'm right there with you. I never went all DSLR, but there's no way that I'd go that far for event video. I shoot a mix of GH1's and HMC40's, using each when it makes sense or is...

Re: 60i, 24p, or 30p for weddings?
Encoding time for 720p is definitely a plus. But the way I understand it is that there is less interpolation/processing involved in scaling 720p to SD than there is with 1080p. The less the computer...

Re: 60i, 24p, or 30p for weddings?
I shoot 720/60p. Mostly because I can't stand 24p, but also because I love the option of smooth slow motion. And it scales nicer to SD than 1080p does.

The worst is always when the music bed has vocals in it, and you're mixing speech with it. It's very difficult to get them to play nicely -- but not impossible. Nowadays, my patience isn't what it...
